Hi my friend tc is having problems.he told me that when he is in the highway,the car rpm goes all the way but the car stay,like the car is in neutral but then it goes back to normal and he dont feel a gear change at all.does anyone knows what can be the problem?His tc is 06 automatic.thanks

 

Is he boosted? It sounds like the trans is slipping pretty bad. It happened on my ____ty Honda, the solenoids started to fail and it took all of the clutch packs with it. If that's the case there is no fix other than a complete rebuild.

 

it's stock.

 

i thought he had a prius when i saw the thread

 

Cold or warm?

 

could it be the throttle?

 

so you're saying that the engine revs and goes up to redline, but the car itself is not accelerating. that means the transmission is slipping.

 

thanks for your help.I will tell him the bad news

 

Tell him to take it to a shop, and if he's still under warranty to Toyota.
